Birds of Pakistan

The first ever field guide to Pakistan, covering over 670 species in an easy-to-carry format. Available in both an English and an urdu version it is hoped that the book will lead to an increase in interest in birds of the country, with a knock-on benefit to conservation. With habitats ranging from coastal to desert and high Himalayan mountains there is an incredibly diverse range of species to encounter, including several particularly sought after ones, including the stunning and rare Western Tragopan.
